Summary

The bill lets cities and towns add a reasonable connection charge, possibly with interest, when a homeowner connects to water or sewer services. It also requires municipalities to set up a system by 2030 that lets builders defer payment of these charges until final inspection or certificate of occupancy, but the city can hold off on those approvals until the fees are paid. This impacts new single‑family detached, attached, and multifamily residential projects.
